Hello to everyone and thank you for checking out The World is Our Platter. This is all about my first surfer Fried Filler from Germany and the many things that we shared And what he thought me and vise versa. Fried Was originally born in Bavaria Germany, he lived there for 12 years. Bavaria is a landscape full of trees and crystal clear Blue water. He now lives in Berlin Germany. The landscape for Berlin is a very flat and boring landscape not to much unlike the flat lands of America. Fried is at the beginning of his 250 day trip around the world. total price for him to travel for 250 days just over $12,000 U.S. Dollars. His journey began in Iceland on January 6, 2011. From there he traveled to New York. He now is in Chicago and will be leaving for Indianapolis. After that he will go to San Fransisco. From there to New Zealand then Australia. From Australia To South Africa. Once he is done with South Africa he will make his way back to New York then to Chicago St. Louis. Once he is done with St. Louis he will travel home and begin college. While he was here in Chicago for his six day we went around the town and seen many interesting things. The First day he went to my college with me and got to see what studying the Culinary Arts is like. The next day we traveled all of Chicago from the Sears Tower now called the Willis tower, to Navy Pier, then to a great little place where we got ourselves a Famous Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. the next day we planned on going to Chinatown but it turned out to be way to cold for that so instead we got ingredients to make a German dish called Schweinebraten. This dish is made of pork shoulder, Sauerkraut and dumplings. After we got the ingredients we went to a nice party in downtown and ended up staying up until 7 o'clock the next morning. The next day was the big day between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. Plus we went to the Vietnam War Museum. After all this was said and done we finally made the Schweinebraten Yummy along with that we made this wonderful little Raspberry Souffle. Then the Final Day came(very sad moment) but he still got to see some cool things such as the Shedd Aquarium he went to a baking class with me. Fried was wonderful to have stay at my house i loved every moment of it. I learned interesting things like Germans love things to be very clean, they also complain about everything he is an exception to that rule. He said the highest complement you can usually get from a German "is that's OK." The Taxes in Germany would make most Americans cry. They take roughly 48% of your earnings in a year then spend it on random things. When they buy stuff at a store it is usually 19% taxes. They have 28 different dialogs in Germany this made my jaw drop. He says that the way Bavaria is that they uphold a lot of tradition and don't like to deviate from their tradition. Bavarians speek a completly diffrent German then the other parts of the country. Fried gave me an example of it and it was confusing compaired to normal German.The recipes below are the recipes that we tried out while he was here and let me tell you every single one of them is great. I can't wait till he comes back to Chicago cause from here we are going to travel to St. Louis and help fix a house down their with a friend of his. And finally i will be traveling after i am done with college and some day I hope To Surf his Couch. To follow Fried Go to the link ItchyFeet under the Blog Links.
